Statement of Faith

A brief summary of the biblical and historic Christian faith we confess.

Introduction

We hold to the authority of Holy Scripture and the historic Christian faith as expressed in the Reformed and evangelical tradition.

The Scriptures

God’s Word

We believe the Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and sufficient Word of God. It is the final authority for faith and practice.

What We Confess

We believe in one true and living God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each equal in power and glory, and distinct in their personal relations.

We affirm that God is the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, working all things according to the counsel of His will, for His own glory.

We believe that Adam, as the federal head of humanity, sinned and fell from original righteousness. As a result, all humanity is born in sin and under the just condemnation of God.

Salvation and the Christian Life

We believe salvation is by grace alone (Sola Gratia), through faith alone (Sola Fide), in Christ alone (Solus Christus), to the glory of God alone (Soli Deo Gloria), as taught in Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura). These are the heart of the gospel and shape our teaching and ministry.

The Person and Work of Christ

We believe in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atonement, bodily resurrection, and His current intercession for the elect.

The Holy Spirit

We affirm the person and work of the Holy Spirit in convicting of sin, regenerating the heart, indwelling believers, and sanctifying the church through the Word.

The Church and the Sacraments

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, composed of all believers. The visible church is the local expression of this body, marked by the preaching of the Word, the administration of the sacraments, and church discipline.

We affirm that baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances instituted by Christ, to be administered in the church as signs and seals of the covenant of grace.

Eschatology

We believe in the bodily return of Jesus Christ, the final resurrection, the judgment of all people, and the eternal state—heaven for the redeemed, and eternal punishment for the unrepentant.

We’d be glad to welcome you on Sunday or answer any questions about our beliefs and worship.
